GoHunt Acquired

[aMurderOfCrows]

Maybe these new people can find a way to get those GoHunt lightweight pants in stock.

I wish them the best. Hopefully they can retain the people and culture that built the company. My experience is that once the bean counters are in control, it creates instability and a focus on profitability over value to the customer.

I’m not 100% but I feel like Trail hasn’t been doing many podcast updates the last couple months either

The fastest way to ruin the customer experience is to be acquired by PE. Squeeze it dry and sell it for parts. Oh well.

If I was any app/software company, I’d be sweating bullets over AI right now. With pretty minimal skill, I was able to replicate what GoHunt does in a short weekend (one state only). Matter of time before a one-man-AI-shop enters the market to do what GoHunt does but with much lower expenses. Race to the bottom.

I did this in 2017 with a pencil on a spreadsheet. It wasn’t rocket science but they used folks fear of the unknown to carve a niche.

AI will continue to change computer based systems.

AI can certainly do the job of GoHunt… however in terms of the $100 a year vs the time I save not working through data on 9 states a year, it’s still worth it to me. It was never about a necessity and more of an efficiency tool for me. I’ll pay the yearly fee to have a ton of time back to be with my family instead of pouring over draw statistics.

Brandt has been at it for decades, they're not going anywhere. They do our e-tagging and licensing, not our draw. No 1st hand experience with e-tagging but see guys complaining about it every year.
As for Sartini, never met him but he built something from nothing, hopefully he made FU money to add to the FU money he already had.

I wouldn’t say he built something from “nothing”. His family are billionaires so I’m guessing it was a bit more of a pet project with free money then building something from nothing.
